White Paper Research - Values & Behaviours Thank you for agreeing to contribute to our research project.We are an Australian based company operating globally, specialising in intercultural education, research and data collection. If you’re interested, our website is here and some of our research is here. This research will help you inform: A whitepaper that will be shared with contributors Future various publications and research The development of new tools, guides and solutions Develop new products The topic of our research is primarily around the interaction between company values, workplace culture, sentiment, behaviours and data collection, and how these influence one another in practice. We appreciate some of these topics may have already been covered if you met with Cultural Infusion. Every contribution helps us build a richer understanding of the topic and challenge assumptions Note: If we publish your ideas or thoughts or quotes, no names or company names will be attributed unless with your implicit permission. We’ll ask about that at the end of the survey. If you would rather do this interview over Teams / Zoom with a Cultural Infusion researcher, please click here. On with the questions!

Feel free to just put a link in the answer box if that’s available.When were they written?Who came up with them, and how?In what country were they written?Do you think the country of origin influenced the values?If your ‘head office’ / headquarters is in a different country, can you explain how the ‘values’ are interpreted in your country?Do you think these values are welcomed / best understood across all business units / regions?
